A very heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and wedge-like serif shaping. The letterforms are broad and assertive, with compact interior counters that create strong black–white patterning. Curves are smooth but tightly tensioned, while joins and terminals often resolve into sharp, triangular points that add bite and definition. Overall rhythm is bold and sculptural, with a slightly elastic feel in widths and spacing that enhances its display character.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, posters, and brand marks where strong personality and contrast can be showcased. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes at larger sizes, where its dense texture and pointed terminals remain clear and intentional.
The font projects a dramatic, editorial voice—confident and attention-seeking, with a refined, classic underpinning. Its sharp flared terminals and strong contrast give it a stylish, slightly theatrical tone that feels suited to headlines and statement typography rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through weight, contrast, and flared serif detailing, pairing classic serif conventions with a more sculpted, stylized terminal treatment. It aims to create an authoritative, display-forward texture that stands out in editorial and branding contexts.
Numerals and capitals read particularly commanding due to their broad proportions and compact counters. In text, the dense color and angular terminals create a distinctive texture that benefits from generous size and breathing room.
